U.S. resumes taking F-35 after delays over software update, Reuters reports

The United States has resumed taking delivery of F-35 jets with an interim upgrade after a months-long halt due to software delays, and will withhold some payments until remaining enhancements are ready, senior officials said on Saturday, according to Reuters. Lockheed Martin and key suppliers have been upgrading the jets under a program called Technology Refresh 3 – or TR-3 – that aims to improve displays and processing power.
